Call it the curse of The New York Times. We recently talked about how Oman is just now opening its doors to tourism, but with the Times now dubbing this calm gulf state the “anti-Dubai” it looks like it’s gonna be pushed into the mainstream. Hey, it happened to Bangladesh.

The latest performance art isn’t Off Broadway, it’s further downtown, and a bit more of an active, colorful competition. We told you earlier that New Yorkers are rating it. Now it’s being created under the gun in front of a crowd.
Art Battles are live graffiti competitions on the Lower East Side where emerging, talented artists […]
